He's living his conservative dream. Those good old halcyon days when one could be a well respected, law abiding man of means in their own locale, then go abroad and live it up in third world countries abusing brown labor and farking their children. You know, like Rush and his pool boys. At least Adelson isn't directly screwing young girl's from Macau, he only profits from others screwing them.

Meh. If prostitution is legal in Macau, it's not a problem there, long as he has his permits. As far as international criminal connections, I'd be pretty surprised a man in his work w/ his billions didn't have to deal w/ unsavory types in countries w/ a wink-wink attitude toward crime.

His ties shouldn't be the concern: it's the treatment of coporations as persons & money as speech that's the issue.

Gosh, maybe if the dirty linen and closet skeletons of all the billionaires using Citizens United to try to buy the government are dragged out into the open they'll think twice about trying to buy the government.

He hasn't been charged, much less convicted of anything. The article is nothing but he-said-she-said nonsense, so it would be quite a leap to say that he lied and covered it up. Also, it seems that even if he did what he was accused of doing, it was perfectly legal.

On the one hand, this doesn't bother me too much. Knowing that Adelson made his fortune in casinos makes it pretty obvious he's involved in all kinds of things. And since these things are more-or-less legal in Macau, it's almost a non-story.

The real story? If Adelson is personally involved in any of these policies, it raises red flags about how seriously Romney takes his faith. LDS quotes on prostitution: Link

It really seems that Romney's values can easily be compromised for a prime-time TV spot or two.

"And that's about 100,000,000 Americans that can't do either. Which is the point. If you f*cks bothered caring what was going on, you would, I don't know, vote, maybe? As it is, all it takes is money. And people are mad because I got money."

"You bring up a good point. What the f*ck do you people care? This is in some other country. Anyone else, and you'd be saying, 'Oh, wow, what a nice guy, he's making sh*t -tons of money off the foreigners, and bringing it all back here and spending it in the United States. How much more American do you want, than robbing other people blind and bringing the money back here?"
